Book excerpt: The European Border and Coast Guard Agency, agreed in a record time upon the Commission's proposal, was established in October 2016 to ensure that Europe can better protect its common external borders and is equipped to face any new migration and security challenges. Building on the foundations of Frontex, the new Agency is a powerful tool that supports Member States in their responsibility to control external borders with around 1,400 border guards, complementing the existing national capacities of Member States of over 100,000 border and coast guards. An additional pool of 1,500 border guards is on standby ready to be deployed immediately if an emergency situation at any of the EU's external borders arises. The Agency's operations on land and at sea have helped to better manage migration and secure the EU's external borders, saving hundreds of thousands of lives in the Mediterranean.

Book excerpt: One year ago, the European Border and Coast Guard Regulation entered into force, bringing to life the European Border and Coast Guard Agency on the foundation of Frontex. The new and extended mandate of the agency and its increased resources are a clear and strong political response not only to the migration but also the security crisis faced by the EU at its external borders in 2015 and 2016. Our first anniversary provides an opportunity to take stock of the work already achieved and consider our way forward.
Download or read book The European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex Beyond Borders the Effect of the Agency s External Dimension written by Vittoria Meissner and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recently reformed European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex has since its establishment increasingly cooperated with third countries. It does so through existing working arrangements and joint analytical activity, in order to foster information exchange, carry out risk analyses, and prevent further migration crises. What effect does Frontex's external dimension in terms of cooperation with non-EU countries have on the EU decision-making process?The paper first traces the empowerment of Frontex over the years, as its tasks and resources have constantly increased. Secondly, in order to investigate different kinds of cooperation, it describes Frontex's 'external' work with non-EU countries. Drawing on the tradition of historical institutionalism, three explanatory factors are presented for demonstrating the agency's effect on decision-making: external crises leading to growing security concerns; a consequent increased delegation of authority to Frontex (agency empowerment); and growing regional cooperation. By looking at the Western Balkans case and at the relation between the agency and the European Commission, this study argues that Frontex's work beyond borders affects the decision-making and consequently the policy-making of the EU. The expanded remit, increasing financial as well as staff capabilities of the agency, and reoccurring crises show that Frontex is no longer an implementing, executive instrument as the existing literature claims, but has evolved to be an influential actor in its own right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper assesses the Commission's proposal presented in December 2015 to set up a European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG), based on the responses made by the EU border agency Frontex to the 'refugee crisis' that began in 2015 and continues unabated. It explores the extent to which this proposed new body will be capable of remedying the EU's shortcomings in meeting established border and asylum standards and related institutional needs on the ground and concludes that it is unlikely to do so. The paper argues that the EBCG proposal does not establish a true European Border and Coast Guard. Instead it would revamp Frontex into a Frontex + Agency. The EBCG would expand the current logic of national border guards to be committed to the Frontex Agency 'pools' and therefore does not solve the 'dependency' of Frontex on member states. More importantly, the EBCG would do too little to ensure that member states comply with EU border and asylum standards, which has constituted the central deficiency throughout 2015 and earlier. We find that it will also fall short of establishing a professional culture in border control cooperation to be shared across the Union. Revamping and relabelling Frontex will create expectations that will be difficult to fulfil if compliance with EU border, reception, and asylum standards remains weak on the ground. The paper calls on the EU to give higher priority to policies dealing with the structural compliance with EU border and asylum standards by all member states, moving beyond the EU Dublin system and including an enlarged role for the European Asylum Support Office (EASO)"--Executive Summary.
Download or read book The European Border and Coast Guard written by Sergio Carrera and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The humanitarian refugee crisis in Europe of 2015-2016 has posed profound challenges to the legitimacy of the European Union's policies on migration, asylum and borders. It has also revealed unfinished elements and serious shortcomings in current EU policies and approaches, particularly those applying in southern EU maritime border areas and frontier states in the Mediterranean. This book provides a critical examination of the lessons learned from this crisis and gives an up-to-date assessment of the main policy, legal and institutional responses that have been taken at the EU level. It further examines the extent to which these responses can be expected to work under the current system of sharing responsibility among EU member states for assessing asylum applications and ensuring consistent implementation of EU legal standards in compliance with the rule of law and fundamental rights. The authors offer specific recommendations and possible scenarios for policy optimisation and assess the extent to which the establishment of a European Border and Asylum Service (EBAS) can address the current gaps and challenges in EU and member states' migration policies."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book The Empowerment of EU Agencies in EU Border Management written by Yichen Zhong and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of European Union (EU) agencies in the EU’s external border control policy, looking at how the empowerment of particular bodies has shaped the management of their external borders and influenced EU governance more broadly. Focusing on four key aspects of agency involvement – joint sea operations, information access, inter-agency cooperation, and international action – the book sheds light on the daily policy implementation and operational collaboration at the EU’s external borders and beyond. It finds that the agencies increasingly demonstrated the capacity to sway decision-making and implementation from within. This has led to a reduction in Member States’ policy autonomy, an increase in EU oversight over border management, and the institutionalisation of a common administrative capacity at the EU level, leading to a shift in the EU’s approach to border management towards integration. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of border management, migration studies and asylum, EU administration and agencies, and more broadly European studies, international relations, and public administration.

Download or read book Humanitarianism Human Rights and Security written by Nina Perkowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the relationship between humanitarianism, human rights, and security in the governance of borders and migration, this book analyses the case of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), challenging the common assumption that humanitarianism and human rights provide a critical basis for countering securitisation. Arguing that these are not three opposing discourses and modes of governing, the author contributes to a deeper understanding of their connections and combined effects in border governance. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and document analysis, the book offers three perspectives on Frontex’s changing relationship to humanitarianism and human rights. In doing so, it provides a multifaceted account of Frontex and its gradual appropriation of what are often considered pro-migrant discourses. Combining organisational sociology with a Foucauldian analysis, the book speaks to ongoing debates on continuity and change in the security field and provides insights into studying security organisations more generally. Drawing on insights from Critical Migration and Border Studies, Critical Security Studies, Critical Humanitarianism and Human Rights Studies, and Organisational Sociology, the book will generate interest to multiple disciplines, including Sociology, International Relations, Politics, Anthropology, European Studies, and Geography.
Download or read book The Proposal for a European Border and Coast Guard Evolution Or Revolution in External Border Management written by Jorrit Rijpma and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, which critically examines the Commission proposal for the establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard, was commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee. The proposal significantly reinforces Frontex's regulatory and operational tasks and provides the Agency with an additional supervisory role. The proposal does not amend the fundamental premise of operational cooperation at the external borders, reserving executive enforcement powers to the Member States. Nonetheless, the concept of shared responsibility in the absence of shared accountability increases existing fundamental rights concerns.
Download or read book EU Borders and Shifting Internal Security written by Raphael Bossong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume analyzes recent key developments in EU border management. In light of the refugee crises in the Mediterranean and the responses on the part of EU member states, this volume presents an in-depth reflection on European border practices and their political, social and economic consequences. Approaching borders as concepts in flux, the authors identify three main trends: the rise of security technologies such as the EUROSUR system, the continued externalization of EU security governance such as border mission training in third states, and the unfolding dynamics of accountability. The contributions show that internal security cooperation in Europe is far from consolidated, since both political oversight mechanisms and the definition of borders remain in flux. This edited volume makes a timely and interdisciplinary contribution to the ongoing academic and political debate on the future of open borders and legitimate security governance in Europe. It offers a valuable resource for scholars in the fields of international security and migration studies, as well as for practitioners dealing with border management mechanisms.
Download or read book The European Integrated Border Management written by Giulia Raimondo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the human rights obligations of Frontex and its member states at the borders of Europe? Who is responsible when the rights of people crossing those borders are breached? Those are the main questions that this open access book addresses while exploring the evolution of the European integrated border management (EIBM). The mode of administration of European borders has become a complex and polymorphous affair involving multiple actors working at different levels, with different competences and powers. In this context, borders are no longer lines on a map but enmeshed in a tapestry of different actors and technologies. This evolution not only puts to test the relationship between territory and public power, but it also requires a different understanding of the responsibility for the exercise of that power by a panoply of actors. This book addresses the challenges related to the implementation of the EIBM and the human rights responsibilities that it can trigger. It entwines two separate but interlaced discourses: the first being a reflection on the concept of EIBM and its human rights impact; the second being the question of the attribution of international responsibility for violations that occurred in the implementation of the EIBM. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
Download or read book FRONTEX and the EBCGA written by Amélie Poméon and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book, Amelie Pomeon won the Hanneke Steenbergen Scriptie Prijs 2016 (prize for the best master thesis in the field of migration law in the Netherlands for the year 2015/2016). Hanneke Steenbergen taught migration law at the University of Leiden and was highly dedicated to the promotion of migration law education. After her death, a commemorative foundation was established, the primary purpose of which is to award a yearly prize stimulating research and interest in migration law issues. This book discusses the question to what extent Frontex (and, to a more limited degree, its successor, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency) can be held accountable for breaches of EU law acting both inside and outside EU territory. The issues covered include a detailed discussion of Frontex' tasks and competences, the legal position and status of EU agencies, agency accountability and the distinction between the notions of accountability and responsibility as well as the extraterritorial applicability of EU law. It also addresses the question whether an individual complaint mechanism can and should be introduced within the Agency's setup. Dissertation. [Subject: Migration Law, Human Rights Law]
